LONDON -- Jose Mourinho failed to get the better of his former pupil on Saturday as Chelsea was held to 1-1 at Tottenham, with the visiting manager angry to see Fernando Torres sent off as they pushed for a winner.

Chelsea fought back from a goal down, with John Terrys header during a revitalized second-half display cancelling out Gylfi Sigurdssons opener as the Blues seized the initiative against Andre Villas-Boas team. With around 10 minutes to go, Torres, who had been at the heart of Chelseas second-half attacking threat, was shown a second yellow card for an aerial collision with Jan Vertonghen. "Im sad because the game was good," Mourinho said. "In the first half it was not such a good Chelsea, in the second half Chelsea was not good -- Chelsea was very, very good." Torres looked incredulous after being shown red, remaining on the pitch in disbelief before eventually heading down the tunnel. Mourinho was critical of referee Mike Dean, saying: "Its a show for millions of people, and you killed the show because you want to be clever." Further incensing Mourinho was his belief that Vertonghen should have been suspended for Saturdays encounter. The midfielder escaped a red card after pulling down the shorts of Nicklas Helenius as the striker went through on goal during Tottenhams win at Aston Villa in the League Cup on Tuesday. "You go to YouTube -- its top of the ridiculous situations in football -- its ridiculous, the boy was naked," Mourinho said. "And today (Vertonghen) changed the game, so Im not happy." Chelsea remains two points behind second-place Tottenham, which is a further two points off north London rival Arsenal after its 2-1 win at Swansea late Saturday. The London derby was as fiery as the build-up when the tensions between the rival managers spilled out in public. Villas-Boas, once a junior member of Mourinhos coaching staff at Chelsea and Inter Milan, was facing his former mentor for the first time from an opposing dugout. Their pre-match greeting at White Hart Lane was more cordial than their verbal exchanges through the media around this match. "Im not interested in what he said," Mourinho said after Saturdays game when asked to respond to one of Villas-Boas comments. "Im 50 years old, Im not a child," Mourinho added in a broadcast interview. "If you have a problem with someone you dont go to your mum, your dad or to the press to complain about it ... to resolve the situation." So for now the reasons for the spat are no clearer. Neither is the status of the title race after this match that Tottenham initially controlled. Christian Eriksen was the orchestrator for Sigurdssons opener, two week after setting up the Iceland midfielders double at Norwich. Eriksen brought the ball down the left flank and crossed to Roberto Soldado, who teed up Sigurdsson to find the net in the 19th minute. Chelsea was transformed after the break, giving just the response Mourinho demanded. Out-of-favour Mata entered at halftime and his display convinced Mourinho to start him against Steaua Bucharest on Tuesday when Chelsea looks for its first points in the Champions League group stage. "This is the way players have to say I want to play," Mourinho said. "He changed the team in the second half." The Blues were awarded a free kick when Vertonghen tripped Ramires as he ran through on goal, and then Terry became the first opponent to score at White Hart Lane all season in the 65th. Tottenham struggled to get out of its own half as Chelsea pushed for the winner, with Torres the creator as Andre Schurrle was denied by Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. Mourinho had been planning to put two up front, but Samuel Etoo remained on the bench after Torres was sent off. He had received his first booking, for scratching Vertonghens face. "I dont think Fernando went in nasty to deserve a sending off," Villas-Boas said. "The referee decided both players went in in an aggressive way, but it was probably an unfair sending off."

The flanker, who has played 65 times for France, is expected to be out for up to four months. Greg Olsen Jersey Cyber Monday . -- Timbers coach Caleb Porter didnt stray from his business-like approach to the season even after Portland downed the two-time defending league champion Los Angeles Galaxy to gain crucial playoff position. http://www.jerseyspanthersofficialshop.com/elite-andrew-norwell-panthers-jersey/ . But now that hes in the NHL, the Calgary Flames centre showed big improvement in that department by scoring the winner in the eighth round of a 5-4 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday.Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. This week they discuss Joe Thorntons locker room comments, the Raptor Mascots injury, Canadas Olympic jerseys and the booing of Andrea Bargnani. Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is up to big centre Joe Thornton of the San Jose Sharks. After 19-year-old teammate Tomas Hertl scored his fourth goal of the game on a brilliant between-the-legs play in a 9-2 win over the rangers, some suggested the youngster was too, uh, confident. During a question to this effect in Vancouver, Jumbo Joe interrupted a teammates scrum to tell reporters what he would do if he ever scored four goals in a game, and it would have made slap shots strip teasing hero Ned Braden blush. Yes, Thornton was foul-mouthed; maybe he didnt expect to be quoted, but there you are. At least he was honest, which we could use more of in hockey, and in sports. Now lets all pray, together, that Joe Thornton never scores four goals in a game. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is down to the poor forever downtrodden Toronto Raptors and the season ending injury from which they cannot recover. And no, Im not talking about any of their players, not that any one of them would be thumb-worthy. Its their mascot, the Raptor, who is out after attempting a flip in a pre-season game in Halifax and ending up having surgery for a severed Achilles tendon. Normally, I could care less about fuurry arena-laden mascots. Amini Silatolu Jersey Cyber Monday. Most of them annoy me. But this Raptor, working for a perpetually losing team, is many nights the best part of the show. A season without him just wont be the same. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is down to Canadas Olympic third jersey, which, as you know, is black. Now you might have noticed that the national colors are red and white, pretty much from sea to sea to sea. Of course, Canada does feature some black. You have your Alberta oil sands and the black watch regiment. And theres Randy Carlyles heart after a bad turnover by a Maple Leafs defenceman. But in a two-week tournament, Canada hardly needs to deviate from the colors it has worn so proudly and successfully. Goalie Carey Price joked he likes the black sweater because he finds it slimming. I dont like it because I find it foreign. Dave Hodge, TSN: My thumb is down to the booing of Andrea Bargnani, but not just any Bargnani booing. Specifically, the booing of Bargnani, the New York Knick, at Fridays exhibition game. Now, I cant imagine going to an exhibition game for the purpose of booing anyone, but as you may know, I cant imagine going to an exhibition game period. Presumably, you boo an opposing player to somehow get him off his game, to somehow help the home team. If theres a way to make Bargnani pay for being such a letdown as a Raptor, for goodness sake, come up with it during the regular season. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
